ELN vs LIMS vs LIS Solutions
Over decades, many different types of software have been developed to facilitate the scientific research and testing processes that occur in all different types of laboratory settings. The resulting technology landscape is a cluster of acronyms and abbreviations that causes a lot of confusion amongst those trying to determine what will best support their specific needs.
In this article we hope to provide some helpful guidance by explaining what each of an ELN, a LIMS, and a LIS do, the environments they’re best suited for, and shed light on the current state of laboratory informatics technology.
